A NEWBORN baby died in hospital yesterday after being dumped outside a mosque. The boy – understood to have been just hours old – was discovered unconscious and wrapped in adult clothes.
Streetwear company Wildchild Nation, LLC announces a new partnership with urban wrist watch maker, Flud Watches. Wildchild Nation will provide online distribution of Fluds collection of watches as part of Threader, the first online urban clothing marketplace for celebrities in the dance and entertainment industries.

Brand director, Mel Peralta, said, “Our brand continues to grow, and selling on Threader opens up a whole new market for us in the hip hop dance scene. Threader has relationships with everyone in the hip hop dance industry, so selling through their site to gain access to their audience was a logical choice.”

Wildchild Nation co-founder, Marc David, commented, “We looked at the brands on the site and those coming soon, and realized we needed to add a wrist wear accessory. Fluds watches, especially their signature boombox and turntable watches, complement the rest of the streetwear on Threader.”

Threader just launched a Facebook application that enables the brands on the site to promote their merchandise on their Facebook pages. Mr. David commented, “Their audience is already on Facebook. Instead of trying to drive customers to the Site, we knew it would be more effective to bring the Threader brands products to their customers directly.”

PONTE VEDRA, Fla. — MDI Healthcare Solutions, Inc., announced today that two of the
company’s senior executives will present a roundtable discussion at the
prestigious CFO Rising Conference, Navigating The New Normal on
Tuesday, March 9th in Orlando FL. The discussion, entitled,
Rx for Health Care: Why an Integrated Approach to Health Care Spend Can
Lower Costs will be presented by Andy Dengos, SVP
of Sales Business Development and Rick Farris, VP of Sales.

As health care costs continue to rise—a predicted 7 percent this year
alone-–companies are looking for effective ways to manage their
exposure. Part of the problem is that many organizations do not know
what they are paying for: they are rich in claims data, but information
poor. MDI’s Andy Dengos and Rick Farris have been scheduled by the
conference organizers to present an introduction to the multiple uses of
analytics and predictive modeling in health care cost containment. The
presentation will show corporate CFOs a multitude of tools to ensure
cost savings as well as outline the benefits of unit cost management and
an integrated approach to managing health care spending.

“In this age of ever evolving applications of data, an understanding of
the role analytics and enhanced predictability can play in containing
costs is really critical to corporations,” said Andy Dengos, MDI’s Sr.
Vice President of Sales and Business Development.

CFO Rising is the signature conference hosted by CFO magazine, an award
winning business of the Economist Group, reaching over 600,000 corporate
executives around America. The CFO Rising Conference attracts between
300-400 senior financial executives. It examines issues that are
pertinent to finance executives with clear corporate agendas.

quality and profitability of the Hospice business. Following Kelly’s
departure, Scott will report directly to me and I believe that the
Hospice programs will continue to make great strides in operational

OLDWICK, N.J. — A.M. Best Co. has revised the outlook to stable from negative and
affirmed the financial strength rating (FSR) of A (Superior) and issuer
credit rating (ICR) of “aa-” of American Fidelity Assurance Company (American
Fidelity). A.M. Best also has revised the outlook to stable from
negative and affirmed the FSR of A- (Excellent) and ICR of “a-” of American
Public Life Insurance Company (American Public). Both companies are
subsidiaries of American Fidelity Corporation (AFC). All companies are
domiciled in Oklahoma City, OK.

American Fidelity’s revised outlook reflects its favorable operating
results and improved risk-adjusted capital position. Additionally, the
company has made considerable progress in lowering its expense ratio in
recent years, which has been relatively high historically. The rating
affirmations also reflect the company’s well established niche in the
voluntary education market. American Public’s revised outlook recognizes
its return to profitability and improved capitalization position.

A.M. Best remains somewhat concerned with the organization’s sizeable
exposure to real estate-related investments. However, American
Fidelity’s commercial mortgage loan portfolio has continued to perform
well despite the weak U.S. economy. Additionally, an affiliated offshore
insurance company tied to American Fidelity’s international life
insurance business incurred a large loss in 2009. In response to this,
American Fidelity has taken steps to improve operating results in this
segment, going forward.

The PA recommends open pit mining, milling at a rate of 87,000 tonnes per day, conventional flotation, and Outotecs chloride leach process followed by on-site nickel solvent extraction – electrowinning (SX-EW) metal refining. With a base case long term price of $8.50 per lb nickel and $17.50 per lb cobalt (all financial data are U.S. $), the study shows the project has a pre-tax Net Present Value of $819 million using an 8% discount rate. The mine would recover 1.88 billion pounds of payable nickel at an average “life of mine” strip ratio of 0.74 to 1 with an overall refined nickel recovery of 52.8% over 24.4 years.

On average, the project will produce 35,000 tonnes (77 million pounds) of payable nickel metal per year with a C1 cost of $3.34 per pound. The C1 operating cost is defined as the cash cost incurred at each processing stage, from mining through to recoverable nickel metal delivered to market, net of by-product credits (cobalt).

Capital costs for the mine, process plant, refinery and infrastructure development are estimated to be $2.92 billion.

SALT LAKE CITY — The cities of UTOPIA applauded Governor Gary Herbert today for joining
their effort to encourage Google to bring its experiment in fiber optics
to Utah.

“UTOPIA is a good candidate to partner with Google in the new project
and to bring the experiment to well-prepped ground,” said the Governor
in a letter of support. “UTOPIA has successfully pursued models of
deployment and found a sustainable and reliable model,” he said.

“We appreciate the Governor’s support of our efforts to attract Google
to Utah,” said Orem Mayor Jerry Washburn. “He has always been supportive
of local government, high tech, and economic development.”

“Governor Herbert understands business, and realizes what an enormous
boost this would be for our state to have Google’s help in deploying
more fiber to Utah homes and businesses,” said West Valley City Mayor
Mike Winder. “On the UTOPIA network, Utah-based entrepreneurs compete at
the speed of light in providing Internet, data, phone and voice
services.”

Google announced last month that it wants to partner with municipalities
to develop and experiment with an ultrafast fiber network that would
reach 50,000 to 500,000 people across the country. Google’s announcement
referenced the need for government to step up and provide high speed
fiber connectivity, and for such fiber-to-the-premise networks to be
“open access,” affirming all that UTOPIA stands for.

TripIt, the trip management company, has closed a third round of funding, receiving $7 million from a group of investors led by Azure Capital Partners and OReilly AlphaTech Ventures. These funds will be used to accelerate TripIts cloud-based web service to reach more business travelers, as well as new services for mobile and enterprise collaboration at global companies.

TripIt has now received $13.1M in total investment, including $1M when it launched in 2007, $5.1M in 2008, and $7M in this third round of funding, which was oversubscribed by interested investors.

“TripIt has everything we look for in an investment — an experienced management team and the ability to change a big industry like online travel,” commented Mike Kwatinetz, founding general partner, Azure Capital Partners.

“OATV is re-investing in TripIt because of its continued success in attracting new users and partners to their open travel platform,” commented Mark P. Jacobsen, managing director, OATV.

Formation Metals Inc. (TSX: FCO) (”The Company”) is pleased to announce that it has received a non-binding term sheet and expressions of interest from a number of banks with respect to a senior secured project finance debt facility.

The term sheet outlines the general terms and conditions for the loan during the construction phase and the post-completion phase, conditions precedent to closing and drawdown as well as general covenants and other customary terms and conditions that can be expected for a financing of this nature.

The Company, over the last few months has been in general discussions with several banks and is very pleased to have started receiving term sheets. Bank debt financing, together with the proceeds from the current equity financing announced last week, will be used for development of the Idaho Cobalt Project. The Company is unyielding in its commitment to its shareholders to negotiate project finance under the most favourable terms possible and remains confident that all necessary funding can be secured in a timely manner to keep it on the critical path to production.

Formation Metals Inc. is dedicated to the principles of environmentally sound mining and refining practices, and believes that environmental stewardship and mining can co-exist. Formation Metals trades on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol FCO.

Report highlights include:

“Although many markets have seen a slow down in price gains, Im encouraged that prices have remained positive through the first two months of the year despite all the negative economic news and threat of more REOs hitting the markets,” said Dr. Alex Villacorta, Senior Statistician, Clear Capital. “If the increase in demand that preceded the end of the last tax credit is any indication, home prices may dip only slightly into negative territory before getting an added boost before the April tax credit deadline.”

“We observed an expected increase in REO saturation this month as the flow of foreclosures continued to come into the market, while traditional non-distressed sales wait to be listed in the spring and summer months,” added Villacorta.

Abraham, Fruchter Twersky, LLP announces that a class action law suit has been filed in the United States District Court for the Easter District of New York on behalf of purchasers of common stock of Smithtown Bancorp, Inc. (”Smithtown” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: SMTB) between March 13, 2008 through February 1, 2010 (the “Class Period”).

The Complaint alleges that, throughout the Class Period, Smithtown and certain officers and directors violated federal securities laws by failing to disclose materially adverse facts about the Companys true financial condition, business and prospects. The Complaint alleges that the Company failed to disclose: (i) that the Companys financial results were artificially inflated due to SMTBs material understatement of its loan loss reserves and SMTBs failure to state certain of its assets at their true fair value; (ii) that the Company improperly delayed the recognition of its impaired assets in order to inflate its reported income and asset quality; (iii) that the Companys internal and disclosure controls were materially deficient; and (iv) that the Company, through its subsidiary, was engaged in unsafe and/or unsound banking practices.

The alleged material misstatements and omissions caused Smithtowns stock to trade at artificially inflated prices. On February 1, 2010, Smithtown issued a press release announcing its fourth quarter and full year 2009 results, which included a loss of $19.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2009. After this press release became public, Smithtowns stock fell approximately 15% to close at $4.60 per share, causing substantial losses to shareholders. A lawsuit has been filed alleging violations of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 seeking recovery from Smithtown and certain of its officers and directors for damages suffered as a result of the officers mismanagement of the Company. AFT seeks to recover damages on behalf of shareholders who purchased Smithtown stock during the Class Period.

LIMERICK, Pa. — Teleflex Incorporated (NYSE:TFX) has completed the previously announced
sale of its SSI Surgical Services Inc. business to a privately-owned
multi-service line healthcare company.

Amarillo Biosciences, Inc. (ABI) (OTCBB: AMAR) today announced that it has executed a license and supply agreement with Intas Pharmaceuticals Limited (Intas), one of the top 20 pharmaceutical companies in India. Intas plans to launch a double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 3 clinical trial of ABIs orally administered interferon-alpha lozenges in India by the end of March. The study will include up to 520 patients with clinical signs and symptoms of influenza. Intas will pay ABI a royalty on net sales in India and Nepal after marketing approval is obtained.

The H1N1 virus continues to circulate in India. The objective of the clinical trial planned in India is to determine the safety and efficacy of low dose oral interferon in reducing the severity of infection with influenza viruses such as H1N1. A Phase 2 clinical trial recently completed in Perth, Australia demonstrated that ABIs interferon-alpha lozenges were safe and beneficial when given as prevention against respiratory viruses, including influenza.

In the double-blind study that was conducted in Perth, 200 healthy volunteers were given ABIs low-dose interferon-alpha lozenges or placebo once daily for 16 weeks during the winter cold and flu season in Western Australia. Preliminary analysis has shown that interferon-alpha lozenges were free from adverse effects and led to a shift in symptom severity from moderate to mild. Importantly, prophylactic use of low-dose interferon-alpha lozenges significantly reduced the rate of influenza-like illness in study volunteers ages 55 years and older, who are generally considered to be at high risk for influenza. The company plans to release full study results when serology testing is completed.

“Influenza viruses mutate to evade the effects of anti-viral drugs. Influenza viruses do not mutate to evade interferon, but instead they have a strategy to sabotage the host interferon system. By giving people interferon orally, we believe we can overcome this viral strategy. It is my belief that low-dose oral interferon will be a beneficial therapy of all influenza viruses, not just the H1N1 strain,” said Dr. Joseph M. Cummins, President and CEO of ABI.

CALGARY, Alberta — Vermilion Energy Trust (VET.UN – TSX) (“Vermilion”) is pleased to
announce 100% success from its four-well drilling program in the
Netherlands with combined estimated initial production volumes in excess
of 4,000 boe/d net to Vermilion. With current Netherlands production
capacity of approximately 3,200 boe/d, Vermilion’s recent program is
expected to provide significant production growth in 2010 and 2011 as
the respective wells are brought on production through a staged tie-in
process.

Two of the four wells, Middelburen-2 and Middenmeer-3, were considered
lower risk development wells with access to needed infrastructure that
should enable tie-in during the first quarter of 2010. These wells are
expected to be brought on at a combined rate of approximately 15 mmcf/d
net to Vermilion (each are 92.8% working interest) and add nearly 2,000
boe/d of average production net to Vermilion in 2010. Accordingly,
Vermilion is currently projecting that it will approach the high end of
its initial production guidance range of 29,000 to 31,000 boe/d in 2010.

The two remaining wells, the Vinkega-1 and the De Hoeve-1 (each
representing up to 42.25% working interest), require production
permitting, pipeline construction and all related regulatory approvals
prior to tie-in. Production from both wells is expected on-stream by
early to mid-2011. As previously announced, the Vinkega-1 tested at
gross rates in excess of 30 mmcf/d and is expected to produce at a
relatively stable gross rate of approximately 17.5 mmcf/d (1,150 boe/d
net to Vermilion). The De Hoeve-1 well is currently being tested.
Initial results from two of the four zones are encouraging and we expect
this well will add in excess of 1,000 boe/d net to Vermilion beginning
mid-2011.

Vermilion is working to obtain permits to drill four to six additional
wells beginning as early as the first quarter 2011, and has identified
more than thirty further prospects that are expected to accommodate
ongoing organic growth in the Netherlands, subject to regulatory
approvals. Natural gas prices in the Netherlands are based on a basket
of oil-based products with a small spot gas component. Vermilion
realized nearly C$9.00 per mcf for its Netherlands natural gas in 2009
and is expecting similar pricing levels in 2010.

“The nonprofit industry is increasingly demanding additional choices when it comes to constituent management technology,” said Krista Endsley, senior vice president and general manager for Nonprofit Solutions at Sage. “Organizations will now have greater access to Sage Millennium, as well as the freedom to either work with Sage directly or with one of our highly-qualified business partners to customize the fundraising technology solution that is right for them.”

The Authorized Referral Partner program is designed to give interested business partners the ability to nurture Sage Millennium prospects and receive a referral fee on license revenue. The Authorized Reseller and Certified Implementation Partner program is for business partners wishing to take ownership of the entire sales and implementation process.

Sage Millennium has an easy-to-use, unique web-based design that can be set up as an Internet or intranet application. The software helps nonprofit organizations, such as higher education institutions, foundations, and healthcare providers, analyze and manage high-end prospecting, relationship tracking, sophisticated campaigns, major gifts, and donor development. The product also provides the detailed and custom reporting capabilities needed by key stakeholders and supporters.

Released in November 2009, the latest version of Sage Millennium, version 7.8, features a new user interface with updated screens and icons, as well integration with Find Wealth On Line from Wealth Engine. Sage Millennium also integrates with Sage Payment Solutions to provide nonprofits with a complete payment processing solution right from Sage Millennium. The optional Visual Analyzer module provides an interactive dashboard interface for non-technical users, while the optional Advanced Data Examiner module quickly and accurately imports data into the Sage Millennium database without the need for programming knowledge. A graphical tool called Prospect Tree helps users lay out relationships between donors.

If the ides of March mark the beginning of sniffle season for you, take heart. You can relieve allergy symptoms without a trip to the drugstore, says Jordan S. Josephson, M.D., a nasal and sinus specialist in New York City. RETHINK YOUR DIET Ditch foods you dont digest well (wheat, dairy and nuts are the most common). They send your immune system into “attack” mode, weakening its power to fight allergens. CLEANSE YOUR SINUSES One of the best ways to counteract congestion, an itchy nose and eyes and even fatigue is to irrigate your sinuses with a neti pot (an Indian vessel designed specifically for clearing the nasal passages). Make your own saline solution for the pot by mixing 1/4 teaspoon salt with 8 ounces of warm water, and use morning and night.

OREM — Kirk Bertelsen and Chase Tandy are used to helping people, but this was a bit extreme. Bertelsen, a 21-year veteran of the Orem Police Department, and Tandy, an Orem firefighter and paramedic, woke up in their own beds Jan. 28. By the end of the day, they had settled into tents in the heat and humidity of Port-au-Prince, Haiti. “Theres just a part of you that feels like you need to go help,” Bertelsen said. Their planned three-week trip was shortened to 15 days after dozens of people in the group fell ill, but it was still a life- changing experience. And a haunting one.

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti — Gorilla glue and Gatorade come in handy for a couple of Utah medical personnel who winged their way to Haiti to do some doctoring in the roughest areas in the days following the Jan. 12 earthquake. Clinton family practitioner Corey Ericksen and Kaysville physical therapist Nylin Johnson wandered through several tent cities treating everything from dehydrated babies to infected lacerations. They were armed with 5,000 antibiotic capsules, Pedialyte for infants, baby bottles and bandages. When they walked through Champs de Mars, one of the largest of about 600 makeshift communities in the Port-au-Prince area, this one in a park near the presidential palace. A crowd quickly gathered at the edge of a concrete bench under a large tree where several families had shelters of bed sheets and corrugated sheet metal. A pile of laundry dried on a bush and an older woman swept debris from her gravel floor. Women carrying babies ringed Ericksen and Johnson.

One in five children in America goes without dental care each year, according to a new national study released by the Pew Center on the States. The study also found that two-thirds of the 50 states have ineffective policies to ensure proper access to care. Utah received a “D” grade for its policies for providing dental health care to low- income families, meaning the Beehive State met three of eight policy benchmarks used by researchers such as school-based dental sealant programs, fluoridated public water supplies and Medicaid payments. The release of the study, which coincides with National Childrens Dental Health Month, sheds light on the need for improved dental care for needy children. Aside from the misery of tooth decay and possible infection, neglecting childrens dental care can have lifetime consequences, according to the report.
inVisionCam™ to be demonstrated at ADEA Annual Session Exhibition,
March 1-2

SAVANNAH, Ga. — Stage Front Presentation Systems today announced inVisionCam,
a hands-free camera that generates high-definition video for use in
dental instruction and teledentistry.

Featuring an integrated high-definition camera, light source and
microphone mounted on an articulated arm, inVisionCam looks and moves
like a dental light. Generating video is a simple matter of switching
inVisionCam on, positioning it to illuminate any dental area, and
speaking in a normal voice. As the instructor or dentist focuses on
dentistry, inVisionCam generates smooth, jitter-free HD video, with easy
repositioning as needed.

“inVisionCam introduces a unique no-fuss, no-assistance-required
approach to dental video,” said Phil Smith, new markets manager
at dental equipment manufacturer A-dec. “I would expect most dental
professionals working in teaching or teledentistry to consider it worth
a close look.”

In its basic configuration, inVisionCam is ready to serve as a video
component in Stage Front’s Multimedia
Teaching System (MTS), which currently delivers audio/video to
student bench-tops in over half of U.S. dental schools. Optional
broadcast and storage add-ons enable video routing to distance learning
and teledentistry facilities, or to a storage device for replay on
demand.

our expertise in milling to SensAble’s customers, and know that they

IHI program building foundation for more quality-conscious providers Open School med students are initiating their own QI programs The goal of the school, she says, is “to advance health care improvement and safety competencies in the next generation. Its an attempt to address the fact that many academic organizations were teaching improvement and safety in a very limited capacity — some not at all — so we wanted to bring it directly to students.” The schools offerings, she explains, “vary from what feel like formal courses to case studies, video clips on YouTube, discussion boards, and journal articles.” Probably the development the IHI found most interesting, she continues, “is that while the program was initially targeted at students, weve also found a large number of faculty members showing interest. They view the content and integrate it with their course curriculum and share it with other faculty so the knowledge can be spread.”

Rothbard vs. the Philosophers, by Murray Rothbard, edited by Roberta A. Modugno, Ludwig von Mises Institute, x68 pages, $14. IF MURRAY ROTHBARD–free-market economist, anarchist philosopher, American historian, and inveterate activist–had never lived, the modern libertarian movement would have nowhere near its current size and influence. He inspired and educated generations of influential intellectuals and activists, from Leonard Liggio to Roy Childs to Randy Barnett. He helped form and/or shape the mission of such institutions as the Institute for Humane Studies, the Cato Institute, the Libertarian Party, and the Ludwig yon Mises Institute (and wrote a regular column for reason for more than a decade). His initially unique combination of a Randian/ Aristotelian natural rights ethic, Austrian economics, anarcho-capitalism, fervent opposition to war, and a populist distrust of “power elites” both public and private have injected modern libertarianism with a distinct flavor distinguishing it from other brands of pro-market thought. It was a differentiation intensified by Rothbards bombthrowing polemical style. Put it this way: When the likes of F.A. Hayek and Milton Friedman died, the conservative flagship National Review could and did praise the Nobel Prize-winning economists unreservedly. But when Rothbard died in 1995, his old pal William Buckley pissed on his grave. Rothbard, Buckley wrote, spent his life “huffing and putting in the little cloister whose walls he labored so strenuously to contract, leaving him, in the end, not as the father of a swelling movement. but with about as many disciples as David Koresh had in his little redoubt in Waco. Yes, Murray Rothbard believed in freedom, and yes, David Koresh believed in God.” Things look a little different now when it comes to Rothbards influence, though its unlikely anyone at National Review will note it–except maybe in the context of yet another attack on Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas). The rise of Paul and his young and enthusiastic fan base, which Buckley could not have foreseen, contradicts the contention that Rothbards divisive radical intransigence doomed him to irrelevance. The Paul phenomena, the largest popular movement in the postwar period to be motivated by distinctly libertarian ideas about war, money, and the role of government, has been influenced far more heavily by Rothbard than by the beliefs or style of any other prominent libertarian intellectual. The Paul movement is the sort of mass anti-war, anti-state, anti-Fed agitation that Rothbard dreamed about his entire adult life.
Radiant Energy Corporation (TSX VENTURE: RDT) (”Radiant” or the “Company”) (amounts in U.S. dollars), the developer and marketer of radiant aircraft de-icing systems, announced its results for the year ended October 31, 2009, which are also available on SEDAR.

The Company reported a loss of $2,048,453, or $0.01 per share for the year ended October 31, 2009 compared with a loss of $3,831,130, or $0.02 per share for the year ended October 31, 2008. The loss reported for 2009 from the Companys continuing operations was $1,838,622 compared with a loss for the 2008 year of $3,534,365. Revenues of $431,948 for the year ended October 31, 2009 were sixty percent higher than in 2008. Operating expenses decreased substantially during 2009 as a result of a reduction of accruals related to the dismantling of a de-icing facility expensed in the prior year, lower amounts recorded on the granting of stock options, lower professional fees and other cost reductions. The results of the Companys Norwegian operation are reported as a discontinued operation in the Companys consolidated financial statements. Losses from the discontinued operation of $209,831 resulted from foreign exchange translation.

For the three months ended October 31, 2009, the Company reported a loss of $431,876 compared with income $759,169 for the three-month period ended October 31, 2008. The loss from continuing operations of $344,726 for the three-month period in 2009 was $513,533 lower than the loss of $858,259 in 2008, as a result of lower operating costs, the positive impact of a foreign exchange translation gain and a decrease in losses from debt settlements. A loss of $87,150 for the discontinued operation for the three month period ended October 31, 2009 resulted from foreign exchange translation. This compared with a large gain in the prior year period of $1,617,428 resulting from debt settlement gains, gains related to the disposal of the de-icing facility and foreign exchange translation gains.

Radiant is the developer and marketer of Radiant Deicing Systems. The Companys product is the only non-glycol based alternative approved by the US Federal Aviation Administration for the pre-flight ground deicing of aircraft. Aircraft deicing with Radiants technology offers savings to airports and airlines over the use of conventional glycol-based deicing systems, reducing aircraft treatment costs and significantly reducing the negative impact of glycol on the environment.

The targeted products included caffeinated malt beverages such as Joose, caffeinated vodkas such as PINK, and even coffee-infused beer, such as the Ithaca Beer Companys Eleven, a stout produced to mark the brewerys 11th anniversary. Anheuser-Busch and MillerCoors had already stopped sellhag caffeinated malt beverages (Tilt and Sparks, respectively) under pressure from 18 attorneys general and the Center for Science in the Public Interest, which sued MillerCoors over its marketing of Sparks. The critics argue that adding caffeine to alcohol makes people underestimate their drunkenness. They cite a 2007 survey by researchers at Wake Forest University that found college students who consumed cocktabs based on energy drinks such as Red Bull were twice as likely as other drinkers to be injured in accidents, to ride with intoxicated drivers, and to be involved in regrettable sexual incidents. The researchers did not consider the possibility that such associations can be explained by the risk-taking propensities of young drinkers who favor trendy concoctions such as the Annihilator or the Jager Bomb, as opposed to the special dangers of combining alcohol with caffeine.

interface. The new scanner supports the scanning of both models and
impressions, providing a high degree of flexibility for labs and
allowing further time-savings. SensAble is also incorporating its
OpenScan interface into the latest release of its software, which will
allow technicians using the SensAble Dental Lab System to import STL
files from other open scanners that their labs may already have.

The new high-performance impression scanner, manufactured by Solutionix,
is an ideal solution for labs that want to use the scanner for both
fixed and removable restorations. Its scanning capabilities are tightly
integrated with SensAble’s Dental Lab software to provide optimized
speed and accuracy. Labs can start a digital design using the impression
scan, then pour or print a stone concurrently – instead of waiting for
the stone to be completed. Integration with the SensAble Dental Lab
System’s case management system and unified user interface further
streamlines production for labs. This scanner complements the SensAble
Dental Lab System, the only CAD/CAM solution that includes built-in
support for both fixed and removable restorations in an integrated,
touch-enabled platform.

“We are excited to have SensAble as our first OEM partner in North
America,” said

Mr. Minho Chang, founder of Solutionix. “SensAble brings the same level
of quality and commitment to integrating their system as we bring to
developing our scanner. We are confident that our complementary products
and expertise will result in a highly productive solution for dental
labs.”

BIOLASE Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ: BLTI), the
worlds leading dental laser company, today announced the global launch of
the iLase™ diode laser, the worlds first personal laser for dentists
and hygienists designed to perform a full-range of minimally invasive
soft-tissue and hygiene procedures. The iLase is being introduced today at
the Chicago Dental Society Midwinter Show at McCormick Place West in
Chicago.

In its entirety, the iLase is about the size of a large pen, and has five
full watts of power. The iLase, along with two batteries, can be
transported in a carrying case the size of an eye glasses case and is the
first completely self-contained, hand-held dental laser that includes the
laser, user interface, battery power, and controls in a single, integrated
handpiece with no foot pedals or cords attached.

The iLase is also the only dental laser controlled by a patent-pending
finger switch on the laser handpiece, which uniquely eliminates the need
for a foot control pedal. It also uses BIOLASEs proprietary
ComfortPulse™ control that lets clinicians adjust the laser for maximum
patient comfort and cutting speed.

“The iLase is like no other instrument I have ever used,” said David Eshom,
D.D.S., a general cosmetic dentist based in San Diego. “It looks great and
works wonderfully. You dont have to look for a foot pedal as you are
trying to reach different parts of the mouth. You just point and shoot.”

BIOLASE Chief Executive Officer David M. Mulder said, “BIOLASE is the
market leader in dental lasers. Now with the iLase, we have the best
entry-level laser, and the only truly personal laser in the world for both
hygienists and dentists. You can literally put everything you need in your
pocket for hours of use. This new laser is a revolutionary breakthrough. It
changes everything. We have found many dentists and hygienists, who have
not used lasers before, are all suddenly clamoring for a chance to try and
own an iLase in offices where they were being tested. We have also found
that after learning about the iLase, there is a renewed interest in finding
out more about the total diode solution in the ezlase™ and the best soft
tissue (and hard tissue) lasers in the world, the Waterlase® line.

[ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] BY MOST MEASURES, Andrea Gaines, 42, had it all going on: good looks, a successful career, a happy family and a healthy lifestyle. Yet, something was nagging at her, disturbing her rest and preventing her from enjoying her downtime: clutter. “Im pretty neat, so it didnt really look like a huge problem,” says the life and wellness coach from Evanston, Ill. “But little piles were collecting in the corners. There was too much junk in the basement, too many bills and papers piling up all around me. The bookcases were overflowing. Id walk in my door and start to feel vaguely anxious.” Then she happened to come across a flier for “clutter buster” Brooks Palmer and booked an appointment, hoping that Palmer would work some magic and get her organized. As the two of them worked their way through Gaines house room by room, she began to realize just how much her clutter was weighing her down. And when they reached the master bedroom, Gaines had a breakthrough. “I had a huge collection of marriage self-help books in there, and Brooks was encouraging me to let them go,” she recalls. “I didnt want to, but then he asked me: Do you really want these books? Or do you want what the books represent?”

Fiscal 2009 Major Goals Met or Exceeded. Fiscal 2009 Net Revenue from
Services of $39.1 million with Adjusted EBITDA from Operations before
Corporate Overhead of $4.4 million. Current Net Revenue Run Rate of $41
million based on Fiscal 2010 First Quarter Results. Positive 2010

fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2009 and delivered today the following
update to shareholders from FPCG’s CEO, David Hirschhorn.

Highlights for the first fiscal quarter were:

A worldwide economic recession that created the most difficult business
environment since the Great Depression made Fiscal 2009 (the fiscal year
ending September 30, 2009) and the first quarter of Fiscal 2010 a
challenging one for FPCG. The global recession had a major impact on the
financial performance of companies around the world in virtually every
industry, and FPCG was no exception. In addition to a very weak economy
and extremely tight credit markets, we were uniquely affected by the
uncertainty surrounding the entire healthcare sector as legislators in
Washington, D.C. worked toward passage of a reform bill with
far-reaching consequences.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Humana Inc. (NYSE: HUM) announced today that it intends to reduce its
workforce on a net basis by approximately 1,400 positions, or five
percent, over the course of 2010, balancing 2,500 position reductions
with 1,100 additional jobs in areas of growth such as medical-cost
containment capabilities, pharmacy management, and specialty products.
The reduction will come primarily from attrition, process efficiencies,
outsourcing, and position eliminations.

“Todays announcement reaffirms our commitment to positioning Humana for
future growth,” said Michael B. McCallister, Humanas president and
chief executive officer. “This regrettable but necessary reduction in
our workforce is a direct result of Humanas need to align the size of
our company with that of our membership. We are committed to managing
this aspect of our realignment with the utmost care and sensitivity.”

All associates impacted by position eliminations will have a 60-day
transition period at Humana. Human Resources will work closely with
these associates to provide access to resources and information about
internal opportunities and outplacement assistance. Associates who are
unable to obtain another position with the company will be offered a
severance package with continuation of health and other benefits.

McCallister said the workforce reduction will not impair the companys
ability to serve its 10.3 million medical members and 7.2 million
specialty-benefit members. Rather, the reduction — part of an ongoing
administrative-cost-saving initiative at Humana — is intended to help
the company create a more efficient, agile infrastructure while also
providing the resources required to invest in new growth opportunities.

The company also reaffirmed its guidance for 2010 diluted earnings per
common share of $5.15 to $5.35, noting that the changes described in
this news release are not anticipated to result in any adjustments to
its prior earnings guidance.

Inside Obamas Brain, by Sasha Abramsky, Portfblio, 278 pages, $24.95 DECEMBER 2009 may go down as the single most consequential month in Barack Obamas presidency. Starting with his announcement of a troop escalation in Afghanistan, through a Nobel Peace Prize speech in which he touted the benefits of war, then an international climate change conference that broke down in disarray, topped by a convulsive national health care debate that nevertheless staggered toward the legislative finish line by Christmas, the president at every impactful step encountered something new in his meteoric young political career: sustained and even vicious criticism from his core fan base on the left. After the Afghan announcement, 60s New Left relic Tom Hayden declared in The Nation that “its time to strip the Obama sticker off my car” At Open Left, Paul Rosenberg characterized the presidents Oslo performance as a “War-is-Peace Prize speech “When the Copenhagen climate talks broke down (for more on which see “Climate Crackup/ page 28), anti-globalization author Naomi Klein concluded in The Guardian that the “failure belongs to Obama” And by the time the 2,457-page health care overhaul made it through the Senate, a whos who list of progressives–including former Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean and netroots impresario Markos Moulitsas–were actively campaigning against it. Yet even with the noisy dissent on his left flank and record-setting disapproval ratings from the public at large, the president kept getting stuff done, not least of which appears to be the single largest entitlement expansion since the 1960s. The busy month of December also saw passage of an omnibus spending bill and subsequent Pentagon package that together helped jack up federal outlays by more than 10 percent over the previous year amid only scattered national discussion. The House of Representatives passed a massive financial regulation overhaul that would create a Consumer Financial Protection Agency, the national debt ceiling was raised once again, and the Obama has governed like the most stereotypical of old-school economic progressives. As ever, nonideology turns out to be ideological after all. Environmental Protection Agency took the potentially monumental step of regulating carbon (see “The EPAs Carbon Footprint,” page 36). For a guy who seems perpetually on the verge of losing his political mojo, Obama manages to accomplish quite a bit.

CryptoLogic Limited (TSX: CRY)(TSX: CXY)(NASDAQ: CRYP)(LSE: CRP) announced today that its financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2009 will be released on Tuesday, March 2, 2010 at 2:00 a.m. Eastern Standard Time and 7:00 a.m. Greenwich Mean Time.

Brian Hadfield, CryptoLogics President and CEO, cordially invites analysts and shareholders to participate in the companys conference call to be held on March 2, 2010 at 8:30 am (EST) and 1:30 pm (GMT). A live webcast of the call will be available. Management will review the financial results for the fourth quarter and year 2009 and discuss recent developments, followed by a question and answer period.

Conference Call

CHERYL Cole has spoken of her pain and humiliation over her husband Ashleys cheating – and is struggling to forgive his latest betrayal. The Girls Aloud singer and X Factor judge, 26, has revealed to a friend how she jetted out to LA on the spur of the moment to give herself some space away from the love-rat Chelsea footballer. As a fifth girl came forward to claim she has had a fling with shamed Ashley, she is using the trip to decide whether their marriage can survive the revelations. At one point Cheryl told a close pal: “I cant forgive him this time.”
Beneficial Holdings, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: BFHJ), a casino and hospitality investment and management holding company, previously announced its intention to issue a share dividend of 6 shares of free trading common stock for every 1 share of unrestricted common stock that a shareholder owns (holders of restricted shares will receive restricted certificates). This means that the shareholder will have 7 shares of common stock after the dividend for every 1 share currently held.

The Company issued a resolution directing that the ex-date for the dividend will be March 5, 2010. The Company requested that the shares be prospectively distributed on March 10, 2010. However, the Company notes that these dates are tentative in nature and subject to approval by FINRA. In the event that FINRA cannot perform their review in time for the March 10 date, the distribution may be delayed; however, the ex-date probably will not be delayed. The ex-date is the date you must have settled your positions to receive the dividend. This will not be treated as an ordinary forward split, so shareholders must factor in the settlement times for the
ex-date when deciding when to purchase or sell their shares. In the event that the Company is notified of any changes, it will advise shareholders promptly.

In addition, the Company received information that a large portion of the daily sales of its common stock is due to short sellers and not retail investors trying to sell their shares. This short selling action is precisely why the Company needed to issue a dividend to make our common stock more liquid. Our shareholders cannot benefit from liquidity when short sellers are manipulating the price of the securities by creating a wall.

The following information was received from FINRAs published reports.

February 19, 2010: 220600 short shares of 306612 volume (72%).
February 18, 2010: 157000 short shares of 619360 volume (25%).
February 17, 2010: 660383 short shares of 1419469 volume (47%).
February 16, 2010: 255864 short shares of 324864 volume (79%).
February 12, 2010: 6000 short shares of 34500 volume (17%).
February 11, 2010: 75000 short shares of 213000 volume (35%).
February 10, 2010: 135000 short shares of 170700 volume (79%).
February 09, 2010: 729786 short shares of 853186 volume (86%).
February 08, 2010: 105000 short shares of 132895 volume (79%).
February 04, 2010: 125000 short shares of 155400 volume (80%).

New Portable Laptop System Offers Best-In-Class Imaging Capabilities
in a Laptop Size

TUSTIN, Calif. — Designed to meet the needs of today’s hospitals by combining portability
with high-end radiology features, Toshiba America Medical Systems,
Inc.’s new ViamoTM laptop ultrasound system has received FDA
clearance. The Viamo is the industry’s no-compromise ultrasound system
with advanced radiology capabilities, previously unavailable on
hand-carried systems. Toshiba’s Viamo provides the best value in the
hand carried class by offering the same premier image quality as larger,
more expensive ultrasound systems, but at a lower price point for
hospitals. The Viamo was introduced at the 2009 Radiological Society of
North America (RSNA) annual meeting.

The Viamo combines the portability of a laptop system with advanced
radiology features to deliver outstanding image quality, enhance
diagnostic confidence and improve ease of use. Developed from a
radiology foundation, Toshiba’s Viamo provides the confidence to image
patients at bedside, which generally requires larger, more expensive
cart-based systems. When an immobile patient needs a high-end ultrasound
exam, the portable Viamo ultrasound is brought to the patient to improve
the patient’s comfort without compromising exam quality. It is also
ideal for a variety of patient exams, including general radiology,
pediatric, emergency, OB/GYN and vascular.

“The Viamo is specifically designed to provide advanced radiology
capabilities in a portable system, creating more comfortable exams for
patients,” said Girish Hagan, vice president, Marketing, Toshiba.
“Providing the best value in the hand-carried segment, the Viamo
delivers high-quality images for numerous clinical applications.”

The new Toshiba Viamo laptop ultrasound system offers:

Focussed assessment sonography in trauma (FAST) scanning is well established in major urban hospitals. But specialised services are rarely available in rural facilities. Smith, Postma and Wood assessed the utility of ultrasound for the purposes of FAST scanning in their developing world emergency department. (4) The study was part of a requirement to perform a number of supervised scans before accreditation for FAST. On the basis of their encouraging results the authors propose the use of FAST scanning in all peripheral hospitals to assess blunt trauma patients. It can play a valuable role in primary and subsequent assessment of trauma patients, and is cost effective and sustainable. Training programmes and accreditation are required for rural areas in South Africa. (1.) Swanepoel DW, Hall JW, Koekemoer D. Vuvuzela–good for your team, bad for your ears. S Afr Med J 2010; 100: 99-100.
Supertex, Inc. (NASDAQ: SUPX), a recognized
leader in high voltage analog and mixed signal integrated circuits (ICs),
today introduced the MD0100, a high voltage, two terminal, bi-directional
voltage protection device. The patented MD0100 consumes minimal power
while protecting receiver circuitry of ultrasound systems from high voltage
transmitter pulses.

The MD0100 replaces the conventional discrete transmit/receive solution and
requires no diode bridges, inductors, resistors or power rails. The IC
typically reduces component counts from up to twelve to one. Once the
voltage drop across its two terminals exceeds /-2V, the device will begin
shutting down. In shut down mode, it can withstand up to /-100V. Because
the IC doesnt require a power supply, there is no thermal noise from the
switch, which is not the case in the current discrete solution.

BUENA PARK, Calif. — Even as the American economy shows tentative signs of a rebound, the human toll of the recession continues to mount, with millions of Americans remaining out of work, out of savings and nearing the end of their unemployment benefits. Economists fear that the nascent recovery will leave more people behind than in past recessions, failing to create jobs in sufficient numbers to absorb the record-setting ranks of the long-term unemployed. Yet the social safety net is already showing severe strains. Roughly 2.7 million jobless people will lose their unemployment check before the end of April unless Congress approves the Obama administrations proposal to extend the payments, according to the Labor Department. Here in Southern California, Jean Eisen has been without work since she lost her job selling beauty salon equipment more than two years ago. In the several months she has endured with neither a paycheck nor an unemployment check, she has relied on local food banks for her groceries.

THE Government has scrapped plans to replace the sunken sailing vessel Asgard II and is instead to hand over the EUR3million insurance payout to Brian Lenihans Department of Finance. Former Defence Minister Willie ODea torpedoed the popular Sail Training Scheme despite the offer of a FREE tall ship. Now it is highly unlikely that any Irish sailing ships will take part in the Tall Ships Race which is due to be the biggest tourist event in Ireland when it visits Waterford during 2011. The Department of Defence considered refloating the Asgard II but the EUR2million cost was seen as prohibitive.

Caney Fork Restaurant will officially open
its Tupelo, MS location on March 8, 2010 and will be the second opening in
the great state of Mississippi in the last 30 days.

The opening will mark the second of six units to be opened this year by

great quality southern style fare. We opened two weeks ago in Columbus, MS
and the community has responded very positively with more than 3,000
customers visiting the restaurant during our first week,” states Josh Weis,
Vice President. “Judging by the emails and inquiries we are getting from
the people of Tupelo it appears the buzz has been building and we are so
excited to be a part of the Tupelo community.”

Caney Fork also operates a 10,000 sq ft restaurant located in Nashville at
the front gates of Gaylord Opryland. Tourists from more than a dozen states
have come to know Caney Forks awesome steaks, catfish, and ribs as they
have visited the nationally famous Gaylord Opryland. “Since we have become
so well known by the many people who have visited the original Caney Fork
over the years, we felt it was time to take the brand to several southern
towns who could really appreciate good southern food and great prices,”
states Josh Weis. “You will not find a better value or better service in
the South. We offer everything from Fried Pickles or Green Beans for
appetizers, to pulled pork or our famous Caney Burger for lunch, to our
Shrimp and Grits or Slow Cooked Ribs with the best BBQ sauce you will ever
taste for dinner. You can finish it off with a homemade banana pudding or
cobbler and we will guarantee you will be satisfied.”

The newest menu was recently launched in Nashville and the reviews have
been phenomenal. Our customers have complimented the wonderful new menu
items and are applauding that we now have 10 entrees for under $10.

COVERING UP THE inconvenient facts of his resume, donning new identifies the way other men change suits, the hidden persuader at the center of AMCs Mad Men has a talent for duplicity that would seem to place him squarely in pop cultures rich canon of ad industry villains. But even with his fake name, appropriated past, perfect show family, and less than ethical approach to client management, Don Draper stands apart from the cynics, hoodwinks, hacks, and evil mesmerists who populate the pages of such anti-advertising tomes as The Hucksters, The Hidden Persuaders, and No Logo. At home in his dining room or at a fancy restaurant wooing clients, Draper may be a lying, boozing con man. But when hes in his office, dreaming up catch phrases to sell products, the specters of candor and authenticity possess him. “You are the product,” Draper tells a neophyte copywriter. “You, feeling something. Thats what sells” He doesnt just want to sell us the sizzle of girdles and popsicles; he wants to sell us their souls. Art Copy, a 2009 documentary about the advertising business, is built around interviews with eight of the industrys most celebrated practitioners. One of them, the legendary ad man George Lois, echoes Drapers passion. “I can get excited about selling a new kind of pin; growls Lois, a pugnacious blusterer whose campaigns for MTV and Tommy Hilfiger helped turn them into cultural mainstays. Contemplating a pins very pinness–identifying the precise qualities that make it useful to us and enhances our lives–is the path toward great advertising. The contrarian theme that advertising is at heart a medium for profound truth telling runs throughout Art Copy, which will be out on DVD this summer. The more common nonindustry view is of advertising as a fundamentally crooked enterprise that aims to brainwash us into buying products we dont really need to solve problems we dont actually have and attain ideals we dont genuinely aspire to. Art Copy departs from this stereotype in large part because its not a nonindustry depiction. While aimed at general audiences and directed by Doug Pray, whose past work includes documentaries on suffers, graffiti artists, turntablists, and the Seattle music scene, the movie was funded by The One Club, which describes itself as “the worlds foremost non-profit organization for the recognition and promotion of excellence in advertising”

Compliance rates low on egress, fire safety For the first time in several years, The Joint Commission standards and goals with the lowest compliance rates are not directly related to the delivery of health care. In its annual listing of the standards or goals with the highest rates of noncompliance for the first six months of 2009, The Joint Commission listed the following: Life Safety (LS) 02.01.20: The hospital maintains the integrity of the means of egress, 45% noncompliant; Record of Care, Treatment, and Services (RC) 02.03.07: Qualified staff receive and record verbal orders, 40% noncompliant;
HOUSTON — On Feb. 4, Senators John McCain and Byron Dorgan introduced the Dietary
Supplement Safety Act of 2010 (DSSA), that if passed, will restrict
Americans’ access to nutritional supplements. Hotze Enterprises, a world
leader in the alternative health care industry, is strongly opposed to
this legislation being passed, and encourages consumers to take action.

In particular, if the legislation is passed, it will revoke key sections
of the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA), which was
put into effect in 1994 to protect consumers’ rights to access low-cost
nutritional supplements. The passing of the DSHEA bill immediately
followed the Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) attempt to remove
supplements, such as CoQ10, selenium and chromium from the marketplace,
claiming they were inherently dangerous. Presently, the DSHEA protects
supplements if: they are food products that have been in the food supply
and not chemically altered; or if they have been safely sold and used in
the marketplace for several years.

Furthermore, the FDA currently has broad powers to remove dangerous
products from the marketplace. This legislation would expand the FDA’s
powers further, allowing them to use “reasonable probability” to ban
products believed to have significant problems. According to William
Faloon, director of Life Extension Foundation, “This kind of
discretionary authority gives the FDA tyrannical power to ban
supplements, a power they have not hesitated to use when they’ve had it.”

According to a published report by the American Association of Poison
Control Centers, “The facts are that legitimate reports of death caused
by dietary supplements this century are virtually non-existent.” On the
contrary, aspirin, currently regulated by the FDA, is the cause of an
estimated 10,000 deaths each year in the U.S. due to bleeding. The DSSA
not only appears to have originated from the controversy involving
professional athletes’ use of illegal steroids, but also appears to be
supported by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency, which is funded by major
league sports teams. Senator McCain cited that six NFL players recently
suspended for testing positive for banned substances were purportedly
exposed to these substances through dietary supplements. The proposed
bill seeks to give the FDA additional power to regulate dietary
supplements, although, the FDA already possesses the power to
investigate and punish companies marketing and selling steroids falsely
as dietary supplements. In addition, supplement companies are already
required to provide ingredients and proof of quality under the Good
Manufacturing Practice regulations. Authentic supplement companies have
been safely operating under these regulations since 1994.

“The proposed bill is a misguided attempt to protect consumers,” said
Steven F. Hotze, M.D., founder and CEO of Hotze Enterprises. “It doesn’t
even address the steroid problem, but it would severely hamper the
American public from accessing high quality nutritional supplements.”

PROVO — Separate accidents in Utah County claimed the lives of two people on Thursday. A 68-year-old Bountiful woman died after being ejected from a car in a collision on I-15. Utah Highway Patrol troopers said another vehicle side-swiped the car that Linda G. Jones was driving, knocking the car into the outermost concrete barrier. Gordon Jones was taken in serious condition but is expected to survive.
SANTA MONICA, Calif. — Today’s automotive industry news may seem to be all about the Toyota
recall, but car owners have the odds in their favor as long as they
drive safely, reminds Edmunds.com,
the premier online resource for automotive information.

Edmunds.com has obtained and reviewed the National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration (NHTSA) complaint and Fatality Analysis Reporting
System databases and found that there is far less than a one percent
chance that any individual will be killed in a car accident, and that
there is only a slightly higher chance that a driver will experience a
defect that motivates him or her to formally complain about it.

“While recalls make for compelling headlines, in truth the defects
affect a remarkably small percentage of car owners, while driver
distraction and driver error are prevalent – and the leading causes
of car collisions,” notes Edmunds.com CEO Jeremy Anwyl. “Seat
belt campaigns, Oprah Winfrey’s ‘No
Phone Zone’ initiative and other efforts to minimize driver
distractions such as texting while driving are likely to save many more
lives than any recall fix.”

SALT LAKE CITY — A bill creating a new, less costly state pension system will be amended to allow public safety employees to continue retiring at full benefits before other government workers. SB63 had called for all employees covered under the state retirement system to work 35 years to earn a full pension, even though police officers, firefighters and other public safety employees traditionally have been able to leave earlier. Currently, public safety employees can retire at full benefits after 20 years and other public employees, 30 years. But the state retirement system took a $6.5 billion hit in the 2008 economic crisis, and lawmakers are looking for a way to make up the lost money. SB63 is part of a package of three bills sponsored by Sen. Dan Liljenquist, R-Bountiful, the chairman of the Senate Retirement Committee. All are scheduled to be debated on the Senate floor Thursday at 3 p.m.
DURHAM, N.C. (AP) — The woman who falsely accused three Duke University lacrosse players of rape nearly four years ago has been charged with attempted murder, arson and other counts after a fight with her boyfriend, police said. Crystal Mangum, 31, was arrested late Wednesday on charges including assaulting her boyfriend, Durham police said in a press release. Durham County jail records indicate she also was charged with identity theft, communicating threats, damage to property, resisting an officer and misdemeanor child abuse. A judge ordered that she remain in jail on a $1 million bond. Police said they found Mangum and Milton Walker fighting when they arrived at the home just before midnight. Mangum then went into a bathroom and set some clothes on fire in a bathtub, police said.

CHARLOTTE, N.C., Feb. 8 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — Medical teams from Carolinas HealthCare System (CHS) will soon be headed to Haiti. Through an agreement with the Department of the Navy, CHS is organizing volunteer groups who will spend two weeks at a time providing care to victims of the January earthquake. The first contingent of 10 licensed providers is expected to deploy in mid-February and will remain in Haiti for two weeks. Navy medical officials will determine the make-up of each contingent, but each will include one or more physicians plus other medical personnel including mid-level providers, nurses, respiratory therapists, and physical and occupational therapists. They will work in a field hospital attached to the American hospital ship Comfort. “Since the devastating earthquake in January I have heard from many of our colleagues and teammates,” said CHS Chief Executive Officer Michael Tarwater. “They desperately want to help with Haiti relief efforts. They see that the need continues to be overwhelming and they are deeply concerned that opportunities to provide healing have been impeded by the many challenging conditions on the ground. Now, in conjunction with the Navy, we have a means for them to directly apply their skills in ways that will make a difference.” Dr. Michael Bosse, an orthopedic trauma surgeon at Carolinas Medical Center and retired Navy Captain, was instrumental in making contact with Navy officials. Dr. Bosse traveled to Haiti separately as part of a contingent from the Orthopaedic Trauma Association, a national organization. Additionally several other Carolinas HealthCare caregivers have gone or will soon travel to Haiti to work with relief agencies there.

READING, Pa. — Additional hope for first-time homebuyers arrived today with Sovereign
Bank delivering yet another grant to the highly successful Our City
Reading initiative.

U.S. Rep. Jim Gerlach (PA-06) served as keynote speaker at the
GoggleWorks Center for the Arts during a lunchtime event at which Our
City Reading founder Albert Boscov and other community leaders
participated in the presentation of a $250,000 grant, clearing the way
for 50 additional properties for first-time homebuyers of limited means.

Today’s grant, from the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLBank) of Pittsburgh’s
Affordable Housing Program (AHP), brings to $1.25 million the total
amount of grants delivered to Our City Reading by Sovereign Bank, a
member of the FHLBank cooperative of local lenders. In all, AHP funds
applied for with the assistance of the Wyomissing-based bank have aided
in the renovation of 275 units of affordable housing.

“I want to thank Al Boscov and Sovereign Bank for their tremendous
commitment to putting homeownership within reach for more families in
Reading,” Congressman Gerlach said. “Mr. Boscov and Sovereign have been
effective leaders in an effort to transform Reading’s downtown. The
renewal and sale of these homes shows that Mr. Boscov and Sovereign are
equally dedicated to strengthening neighborhoods and continuing to build
on the positive momentum driving Reading’s revitalization efforts,” the
congressman added.

The 50 new properties being brought to market by the nine-year-old Our
City Reading initiative will include 18 four- and five-bedroom units and
32 three-bedroom units. As with previous rehabilitated properties
offered for sale, the goal is to attract low- to moderate-income
homebuyers who have been employed at least a year and who have
acceptable credit ratings. A key focus is the creation of housing for
single parents who are transitioning from welfare to work.

Data hold the key to low readmit rates As a first step toward decreasing readmission rates, examine your data, says Margaret VanAmringe, MPH, vice president of public policy and government relations in the Washington, DC, office of The Joint Commission. “Look at readmissions and discern whether there are opportunities to reduce the number,” she advises. “That will, of course, depend on disease category, population, age, and many different factors.” It will behoove you “to really analyze readmissions, assess these data, use a random sample of charts, and look to see if there is a certain group of patients in these three areas where you feel there could be the potential to prevent readmissions,” VanAmringe says. Michael C. Choo, MD, MBA, FACEP, FAAEM, ACHE, president and CEO of Clinton Memorial Hospital in Wilmington, OH, says, “Its always been very important to evaluate the data on a monthly basis and find solutions.” Choo, who served for 10 years as the ED medical director at Dayton Heart Hospital, is bringing what he learned there to his new position. “Congestive heart failure is the most difficult of the three because its especially problematic in [the Medicare] population,” he says. “Initiatives weve used include trying to identify at the time of discharge those patients who need extra support at home or additional education.” For those patients who are identified as high-risk, arrangements are made for intense home health care followed by outpatient therapy sessions, he says. His current health system has congestive heart failure clinics, where patients status is monitored to make sure they stay stable and dont return to the ED or the hospital, he says.

HOLLAND, Ohio — Wellstar International, Inc. (OTCBB:WLSI) has announced they have
started the Beta Test in a Long Term Care Facility.

Wellstar has implemented its TMI Imaging system in an initial nursing
home through an arrangement with a company that currently works with and
supplies care to several hundred facilities.

The Beta Test is scheduled to run for 90 days. During this period,
images will be captured of existing patients on a time schedule, as well
as any new patient admitted to the facility will also be imaged. The
data that will be compiled will be used to determine the type of
specific care for the patient, as well as to demonstrate the practical
use of the TMI System within the workplace.

The goal is to expand up to 3 additional facilities as the Beta Test
progresses. Once the Beta Test is complete, Wellstar will move into a
Gamma Test. During the Gamma Test, Wellstar will begin charging for the
systems and be revenue producing.

Tweens, teens and thirty-something gamers beware – Grandma and Grandpa are the newest force to be reckoned with in the family Wii showdown.

The Wii™ video game system has increasingly found a home at seniors living residences and community centres across the country – creating new opportunities for residents to interact with each other, and allowing seniors to take on a younger generation at what was traditionally considered their domain.

Members of Edmonds Community Centre for 55 in Burnaby, British Columbia, were treated to some fun in the virtual sun as representatives from Nintendo and Nurse Next Door , Canadas fastest growing in-home senior care provider, encouraged seniors to try their skills with the Wii Sports Resort game. While playing together with each other and kids from a local youth centre, Edmonds members also had the opportunity to learn about and experience the Wii system.

Denise Kelly, Captain of Relationships Community Care from Nurse Next Doors Burnaby, BC franchise, has been incorporating Nintendo games as a regular past time amongst the senior population it services, and has found that seniors genuinely enjoy playing interactive games on Wii and reap far greater benefits.

DOYLESTOWN, Pa. — QuantRx® Biomedical Corporation (OTCBB:QTXB), an emerging leader in the
development and commercialization of innovative diagnostic products
based on its patented technology platforms for the worldwide
point-of-care healthcare industry, today announced that its proprietary
PadKit has been selected as the sample collection system by the UCLA
School of Nursing for a comparative cytology study of cervical cancer.
Led by UCLA School of Nursing Associate Professor Dr. Dorothy Wiley, the
study is funded by an initial grant from the UCLA School of Nursing and
intended to identify a low cost diagnostic solution for cervical cancer
screening in resource-poor areas.

The need for novel diagnostic tools in the fight against cervical cancer
is vital. Although effective treatment is available for this cancer in
the early-stage, the healthcare community is challenged in finding a low
cost method for making a diagnosis of cervical cancer. The combination
of early diagnosis and treatment are ideally suited for reducing overall
health-care costs, as later stage diagnosis and treatment is both costly
and results in higher mortality. The World Health Organization states
that cervical cancer is the second biggest cause of female cancer
mortality worldwide with 288,000 deaths yearly. About 510,000 cases of
cervical cancer are reported each year with nearly 80% in developing
countries. Despite broader access to healthcare services in the U.S.,
cervical cancer remains a major threat to the female population in this
country. These statistics reveal a growing and global need for improved
cervical cancer screening, particularly in less developed nations with
inferior healthcare resources.

“We are thrilled to work with QuantRx in testing their Padkit
intralabial pad, which we hope will improve access to cervical cancer
screening in high-risk populations,” said Dr. Dorothy Wiley, Associate
Professor at the UCLA School of Nursing. “Our research focuses on
cervical cancer, and unfortunately many women cannot afford to be
regularly screened. Our goal is to demonstrate that Padkit can be used
for Pap test self-collection, especially in resource-poor areas with
sparse medical facilities. The Padkit is a low-cost and simple method
that we believe can meet this need.”

Dr. William Fleming, QuantRx Chief Scientific Officer and President of
its Diagnostics Group, added, “This effort will help validate the
scientific research, product development and patient studies previously
undertaken and funded solely by QuantRx. The synergy of the prestigious
UCLA School of Nursing and our experience at obtaining in vitro
diagnostics with demonstrable diagnostic value has the prospect of
resulting in a product used in the fight against cervical cancer that
will both reduce the cost of treatment and affordably bring new
healthcare applications to market.”

Compliance rates low on egress, fire safety For the first time in several years, The Joint Commission standards and goals with the lowest compliance rates are not directly related to the delivery of health care. In its annual listing of the standards or goals with the highest rates of noncompliance for the first six months of 2009, The Joint Commission listed the following: Life Safety (LS) 02.01.20: The hospital maintains the integrity of the means of egress, 45% noncompliant; Record of Care, Treatment, and Services (RC) 02.03.07: Qualified staff receive and record verbal orders, 40% noncompliant;
In response to the recent earthquake in Haiti,
WakePharmaUS, in conjunction with The Relief Foundation and The Red Cross,
have sent a volunteer group comprised of 100 translators, religious
leaders, surgeons, nurses, construction teams, and trained psychologists to
assist with continuing relief efforts. WakePharmaUS has also provided a
massive in-kind donation of its revolutionary new product, Wound-Be-Gone,
to help treat both acute and chronic wounds. This “Wound-Be-Gone-Entourage”
is the first of its kind to be dispatched with relief efforts focused
strictly on wound care and management. As an international company with
strong global family ties, WakePharmaUS has made an impact with its
breakthrough product Wound-Be-Gone by focusing on the promotion of wellness
rather than the treatment of disease. The current situation in Haiti is no
different.

Dr. Macy Hall, Jr., Board Member, Reconstructive Surgeon, and Wound Care
Specialist from Washington, DC explains:

“The WakePharmaUS family is saddened by the recent catastrophe in Haiti.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to the victims. With some reports
estimating over 100,000 deaths and 250,000 injuries, there must be an
immediate plan of action. A catastrophe in a nation where over 85% of the
population lives in poverty is exponentially devastating due to the lack of
healthcare education and access to proper lifesaving techniques. We need
to treat the injured as quickly and efficiently as possible, in order to
have the most impact, prevent disease, and conserve resources.”

While experts point out that victims are most likely to survive if rescued
within 48 hours, the ongoing treatment and care required to keep those
survivors healthy is intensive. Often, highly experienced rescue and
relief teams have difficulty remaining useful. The Wound-Be-Gone-Entourage
was designed with that issue in mind. By deploying the Entourage after the
initial emergency relief efforts, their purpose remains focused on the
promotion of wellness through treating and educating survivors in order to
promote self-sufficiency.

PATIENTS are being urged to have their say on health services. North Tyneside LINK, the organisation that monitors the NHS and adult social care, is surveying counselling services. They aim to see how successful services were last year in helping with everyday psychological problems like stress or mild depression. They want to speak to people in North Tyneside who went to their GP, a professional or group to seek relief from feeling down or stressed. Interviews will take half an hour and those taking part will receive pounds 15 to compensate for their loss of time.

THERES no love lost in the battle over which location actually holds St Valentines remains. The patron saint of lovers, dead over 1,700 years, has become embroiled in a worldwide mystery over where his final resting place is, with FIVE places from Ireland to Austria all boasting to have his remains in their possession. Legend has it in 1836, some relics that were exhumed from the catacombs of Saint Hippolytus on the Via Tiburtina, then near (rather than inside) Rome, which were identified as St Valentine. They were placed in a casket, and sent to the Whitefriar Street Carmelite Church. Each year, tourists flock to the city chapel when the casket is carried in solemn procession to the high altar for a special Mass dedicated to young people and all those in love. Today is expected to be no different.
FORGET the flowers and chocolates this Valentines Day – because nothing says I wuv you quite like the gift of a 0-0 bet on todays Bolton-Tottenham game. A blanker is not the romantic call, but if the Trotters dig their heels and elbows in this could well turn into the sort of ugly, ill- tempered slogathon, with no winner, that will be instantly familiar to married folk everywhere. Both sides have mislaid their scoring boots and Spurs, who have never won in 90 minutes at the Reebok Stadium, remain an outfit to be wary of at short prices on the road. Back the 0-0 result at 9.5 (17/2). No side has conceded fewer Prem goals this term than Villa – split your stake and back 0-1 and 0-2 at 7.0 (6/1) and 8.0 (7/1).
MILLIONS of us have bought Valentines gifts for loved ones today, but if youre planning to be together for the long term it could pay to set a few financial ground rules. You should make sure you both know exactly where you stand when it comes to money matters, or things could get complicated if you split. Heres what you need to know about joint finances. If you have a joint savings goal such as a wedding or holiday, look at a joint savings account, because current accounts usually pay such a paltry rate of interest. You cant open a joint cash ISA as the tax-free allowance applies to each person, but you could split your combined savings between two ISAs.

SEATTLE — A stolen airplane found in the San Juan Islands and chalk-outline feet drawn all over a burgled grocery store suggest that Washingtons infamous teenage “barefoot burglar” is back at it. Authorities across western Washington state have been hoping to catch alleged bandit Colton Harris-Moore since the lanky 18-year- old escaped from a halfway house in April 2008. Since then, hes suspected in scores of burglaries, many of them near his home on Camano Island and in the San Juan Islands north of Seattle. Investigators believe he more recently turned to joyriding in airplanes. Harris-Moores legend has only grown since last fall, with a Facebook page now boasting 16,800 fans and a Time magazine piece dubbing him “Americas Most Wanted Teen Bandit.”
DRS Technologies, Inc. announced today that
it is progressing on schedule in the 134,000 sq. ft. expansion of its
existing 142,000 sq. ft. facility on Babcock Street in Melbourne, Florida.

The new addition includes space for expanded manufacturing, research and
development, administration, business development and human resources.

The expanded facility will allow the company to consolidate its
manufacturing and engineering capabilities under one roof. Currently, the
Companys Reconnaissance, Surveillance and Target Acquisition (”RSTA”)
operations in Florida are conducted out of both the Melbourne facility on
Babcock Street and a facility in Palm Bay.

“Our Melbourne facility has become the cornerstone of our thermal imaging
business,” said Terry Murphy, president of DRS RSTA Group. “The expansion
of our research and development capabilities will foster increased
innovation that will directly benefit our customers, the men and women in
uniform.”

DRS Technologies has a long standing relationship with the Melbourne
facility property owners, Sutton Properties, which has supported this
expansion through investment and collaboration. In addition, the project
benefited from the full support of the Governors Office of Tourism, Trade,
and Economic Development, Brevard County, City of Melbourne, City of Palm
Bay, Enterprise Florida and the Economic Development Commission of
Floridas Space Coast.

The average UK motorist will waste 16 days looking for their car keys in a lifetime(i), according to Swinton, the UKs leading high street retailer of car insurance .

reading labels and checking store shelves can be.

receiving a number of customer requests,” said Rob Henry, assistant manager
of Westborn Markets Berkley store. Gluten is the protein part of wheat,
rye, barley, and other related grains.

Henry also shared his own increased awareness about gluten-free foods since
a family member had been diagnosed with a medical condition that requires a
gluten-free diet.

The guide includes a list of items such as baking ingredients, breads,
broths, cereals, condiments, cookies, dairy products, ethnic foods, grains,
pastas, salad dressings, and soups, among other products. Meats, dairy
